Really, the cliche's the wrong way around. It depends on whether you are
looking at it as the rate of acquisition that's possible, (in which case a
steep vertical represents an easy task), the rate that's necessary to
survive, e.g. in an emergency, (in which case a steep gradient represents
a challenge, learn quickly or die), or the effort required to achieve
proficiency, with the X axis as proficiency and the Y axis as effort.
